Simon Cowell has given Kelly Rowland a 48 hour ultimate to return to the UK set of X Factor or be replaced...
From The People
KELLY Rowland has been given 48 hours to decide if she wants to go back to X Factor as it lurched into near chaos.
The People can reveal Simon Cowell gave her the ultimatum after she pulled out of this weekend’s live shows with a throat infection.
Kelly, 30, was too ill to fly back from Los Angeles after spending last week there in business meetings.
Now the former Destiny’s Child singer has been told she has to decide whether she really wants out.
Last night a show insider revealed: “Kelly has been told it’s time to make her mind up. Everyone is supportive of the fact she is ill but other bosses are annoyed at the situation.
“She doesn’t want to quit. She is adamant that she isn’t worried about the row she had with Tulisa and wants to return but she has to give the ¬producers her word – and fast.”
Kelly continues to feign sickness insisting,
'I'm so sick - I have no idea what is wrong with me, but I have the worst sore throat. It got so bad that I stopped eating and drinking and got so dehydrated the doctor put me on a drip. 'Even now I can't swallow anything - not even my own saliva. The doctors don't even really know what's wrong, either. They say whatever I have is extremely rare.'
